Amid signals that a formula to solve the 28-month dispute over land allotted to Tata Motors’ Nano small car project at Singur in West Bengal has already been worked out, the second round of talks initiated by Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi ended inconclusively Saturday.
The talks will continue Monday.
Sources said that the most positive signal that a formula had already been worked out was the fact that an emergency meeting of the ruling Left coalition in the state has been called Sunday morning.
The government side - one of the warring parties, the other being the farmers’ body led by the state’s principal opposition Trinamool Congress - cannot agree to any formula to resolve the land dispute without first getting it ratified by the ruling Left coalition, the Left Front.
